Your path towards becoming a Certified Rolfer®

The path to becoming a Certified Rolfer® is divided into three levels (Level 1 to 3), which you can complete in a modular, part-time format or as an intensive block programme. Courses are held in German, English, or Italian – in Munich and at various training locations across Europe.

Level 1: Myofascial Foundation

Your entry point into fascia-based bodywork. In nine courses, you will explore the fundamentals of Movement, Anatomy and Touch from a Rolfing® perspective.

  • Certificate: Myofascial Foundation
  • Formats: part-time or intensive blocks

Good to know:
The first three courses – Movement 1, Anatomy 1, and Touch 1 – can be taken individually as introductory modules to help you decide whether Rolfing® is right for you.

Level 2: Learning and applying the 10-Series

In this stage, you’ll deepen your understanding of Rolfing® Structural Integration and learn to apply the classic 10-Series in a structured and independent way. You’ll practise the series with your fellow students and continue developing your hands-on skills.

  • Prerequisite: completion of Level 1

Level 3: Integration & Professional Qualification

In the final stage, you’ll refine your manual techniques, integrate all elements of the Rolfing® method, and prepare for professional practice. Working with clients under supervision, you will further develop your practical skills and shape your personal profile as a future Certified Rolfer®.

What exactly is Rolfing® Structural Integration?

Fascia work with structure and system

Rolfing® Structural Integration is a method of manual bodywork and movement education that works specifically with the fascial system to realign the body – in balance with gravity. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, the method focuses on recognising and transforming deeper patterns of tension, posture, and movement. Rolfing® can help promote freedom of movement, support realignment and elevate body awareness over time.

Developed by Dr. Ida Rolf, the method is based on a strong anatomical foundation and the interrelationship between structure and function. Our curriculum continuously evolves by integrating current findings from fascia research, scientific insights, and practical experience.
